LNG Canada has selected Técnicas Reunidas subsidiary TC Canada E&C to deliver FEED services for Phase 2 of the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline, under consideration in British Columbia, Técnicas Reunidas announced on Thursday.
TR Canada E&C’s scope of work covers initial engineering and project design, as well as an assessment of project costs. It will inform the planning of a second development phase for the pipeline, which would include five additional compressor stations and upgrades along the existing pipeline route. If the development reaches a positive FID, it could more than double the pipeline’s transportation capacity to reach 142 mcm (5 bcf) per day.
LNG Canada operates a major LNG export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, and is a joint venture between Shell Canada Energy (40%), Petronas wholly-owned entity North Montney LNG (25%), PetroChina Kitimat LNG (15%), Mitsubishi subsidiary Diamond LNG Canada (15%) and Kogas Canada LNG (5%).
The award follows engineering and consulting work already carried out by Técnicas Reunidas in an earlier phase of the project. The company stated that, in addition to LNG Canada, it has a pipeline of potential projects worth EUR 28 billion in North America, most of which are large-scale combined-cycle power plants.
Based in Spain, Técnicas Reunidas specialises in the design and construction of industrial plants for natural gas processing, oil refining and petrochemicals production.
